Aero-News: Quote Of The Day (08.19.12)

"The Chinook has served as the backbone of U.S. Army aviation since the Vietnam era, revolutionizing how we move troops and supplies in combat, and save lives and deliver aid in times of need. The latest F-model has ushered in a new era of heavy-lift capability for the U.S. Army. With continued technology insertions, I fully expect that 50 years from now there will be a centennial celebration for Chinooks still in service." Source: Col. Bob Marion, U.S. Army Cargo Helicopter program manager, in remarks made upon the 50th anniversary of Boeing's delivery of the first H-47 Chinook military helicopter.
